ARTISTIC ANATOMY.
Lecture by Dr. cerrish In the Art
Society's Course.

DR.. F. II. Gerrish delivered the first lecture
in the Society of Art course last evening be
fore an audience which filled nearly every
seat in the art gallery in the society's house.
The subject of the lecture was the Artistic
Anatomy Of the Head and Neck. DR. Ger
IRISH illustrated his remarks by the use of
SKULL casts and drawings upon the black
board. In commencing his lecture Dr. Ger
IRISH said that he should speak without notes,
regarding the lecture as one of instruction to
the members of the art class rather than as
one intended for amusement. What DIR.
Gerrish said, however proved to be as en-
Pertaining as it was instructive and the audi
ence gave close attention to his remarks.
The lecturer said that if all persons had
that innocence of sight of which Ruskin
speaks, study of artistic anatomy would
be unnecessary, but few people are SO
gifted that they cannot be assisted in artis-
tic work by some knowledge of the anatomy
of the subject. The different parts of the
skull were then pointed out and its propor-
tions and shape described. In describing
the teeth. DR.. Gerrish said that he noticed in
many pictures, an ignorance on the part of
the artist, of the shape of the teeth, which
were painted like semi-circular row of
tomb stones.
In well proportioned head of the Cauca-
sian type, if horizontal line is drawn
through the eye, the distance from it to the
lowest point of the jaw should be the same
as the distance to the top of the skull. Itis
not, however, always right to conclude that
man with low forehead is deficient in in
tellect. There are many exceptions to this
| general rule of proportion. An intellectual
q splendidly proportiQned skull may contain
the brain of fool. In the work of George
Crulkshank, who forty years ago occupied
much the same position as an illustrator that
Dore has filled in recent times, an Ignorance
OF the proportions of the head is displayed.
In his drawings, the portions of the head
above the eyes is very small. In drawings
which DIR. Gerrish had enlarged from copy
OF Oliver Twist, illustrated by Cruikshank,
Oliver is given the forehead of an idiot in
stead Of that of bright and manly boy,
while one OF his companions in the work
house is depicted with head of worse pro-
portions than that of Barnum's "What Is
The facial angle was described as that
made by line drawn from the opening of
the ear TO the lowest point in the upper jaw
above the teeth, and a line extending from
this latter point to the most prominent part
OF the SKULL In the highest type of the
caucasian the angle is nearly right angle
becoming more acute as we descend through
the dlHerent races OF men and the lower ami
mails.
Inc remarks on the anatomy of the neck
andthe explanation of the muscles of the
face and neck, which constituted the last
part OF the lecture, were equally as interest
ing as the first part of the lecture.

The Glen House

The negotiations which have been in pro-
gress for some little time between Mr.. C. r.
Milliken, owner of the Glen House. and
Capt. E. A. Gillett of Hartford, have finally
terminated in the purchase by Capt. Gillett
Of one-third interest in the Glen House.
This purchase includes third of the thous-
and acres of land attached to the house and
a third of the hotel property, livery, stage
equipments and all other interests, which
are very large, belonging to the Glen House.
Capt. Gillett has severed his connection
with the Grand Hotel, Catskill Mountains.
and hereafter will devote his entire time be-
tween the first of May and the last of No
yember to the interests of the Glen House.
This arrangement will enable MIR. Milliken
to devote considerable more time to his other
large business interests in Portland and Bos-
ton, which he has long been DESTROYS of do
ing. He, with his family, will make their
summer home at the Glen House, and his
many friends will find him there during the
season as usual, but he will be relieved of a
large amount of detail management by this
new partnership. The extension of the new
Glen House, very nearly doubling its capaci
ty, will be completed by the middle of June.
and other improvements rapidly made.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
WILSON AND RANKIN.

"ALoON AMI hANAlN.
The Memphis Appeal, speaking of the
wilson and Rankin Minstrels, who will ap-
pear at the theatre tonight, says "Of the
merits of the bill it is sufficient to say that it
Is interesting from beginning to end, and
While some of the old essentials of Minstrel
sy are omitted, new features are introduced
that more than compensate for the absence
OF the traditional banjoist and the decrepid
old songster. The musical contributions of
the Pavenelas are probably, in the estima-
tlon OF many, the attractions of the bill.

All the good things that have been said
about Mr.. Russell and his new play are borne
out judging by the performance last evening.
Mr.. Russell was as droll as ever and kept his
audience in a roar all the evening He was
well supported too. Mr.. Lawton's whistling
serenade, and Miss Ferguson's songs caught
on at once. The support was pleasing
throughout and the applause most generous.
The audience was very large and completely
filled City Hall.
NOTES.
Chambers Military Band, Mrs. C. X.
Halves, and Prof. Grimmer's Full Orchestra
have been engaged for Mr. j. Coles concert.
There Will be no dancing as previously re-
ported.
Z. L. Barnum and Adam Forepaugh have
united their great circuses for combined
engagement of six weeks at the Madison
Square Garden, this spring. Forepaugh got
ahead of Barnum last summer by engaging
the Garden that the latter had always held
and probably this had much to do with caus-
ing the combination.
The Bijou Theatre, Boston, passes from the
hands of Keith q Batcheller into those of
Jacobs q Proctor of Albany, N. Y. The
new proprietors will continue the policy of
their predecessors as regards cheap prices.
Great preparations are being made for the
revival of ''Rienzi" by Mr.. Lawrence Bar
rett at the Boston Theatre, and it is expect
ed that the play will run through the two
weeks engagement.

1t is settled fact in daily journalism that
daily papers are usually lighter in circula-
ton in January than in any other month in
the year. In spite of this fact, however, THE
Boston DAILY GLOBE is gaining this month
at rapid rate. People in cities and large
towns who have never taken THE DAILY
GLOBE are ordering it of their newsdealers.
In the smaller towns people are subscribing
for The DAILY GLOBE in large numbers,
the price being only 80 cents per month. The
fact is, people are becoming convinced by
the thousands that THE Boston DAILY
GLOBE is the best newspaper in this section.
